VEX Robotics Club

Established in 2013, SBHS Vex Robotics club has always been a place where students interested in building, programming and controlling robots could gather. We invite all who are interested to come join our tightly knit group of students. Learn and collaborate together with us. No experience is needed; just a willingness and commitment to learn and work cooperatively as a team.
